Take That joke voted best new Christmas cracker joke of 2014

A Take That themed joke has been voted as the best new Christmas cracker joke for 2014.

The joke was sent in as part of a competition organised by TV Channel Gold and was written by Lynne Newton, who picked up a £1,500 prize for her joke, it read: "What will be missing from Take That’s Christmas stocking this year? An Orange."

The joke mocked Jason Orange's departure from Take That, which was announced earlier this year. He took no part in the recording of their new album III (which you can preview on the right of the page), meaning the boyband are now a trio for the first time in their history.
